Following on from the most applied for PEX Network Awards program ever, I am happy to reveal the 2016 winners which were announced at PEX Week 2016 in sunny Orlando.
Before diving into the winners of each category, as the community manager here at PEX Network, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who entered the awards. The feedback from the judges was how the quality of the awards entries were the highest they have ever been, which is understandable, due to our awards' growing reputation. In addition to this, our community of process executives from across the globe is expanding at an ever increasing rate.
The increased number and high quality of the entries could also reveal how industry standards are improving and how process and operational excellence programs are becoming more important within organizations and therefore gaining more budget and resources.
So considering all these factors shows how fantastic the winning entries were. The 2016 winners of the PEX Network Awards are as follows:
Category: Best Process Improvement Project Under 90 Days
